I, Viego, conquer Terra!

"It's really... amazing." Viego raised his eyebrows.

It seems that the technological level of the other world is much higher than I imagined.

Continuous natural disasters and the discovery of the special mineral "Source Stone" have made the world's technological line appear a little strange in the eyes of Viego, a "modern man".

The unique ecological customs from another world finally revealed the tip of the iceberg in Viego's eyes.

"Entrance fee: three hundred Longmen coins." The masked Sarkaz stopped Viego's car in front of the city gate and stretched out his hand to him.

Viego casually threw out a piece of heavy red gold. "I'm new here, and I have a few questions."

After killing the group of pardoners and looting the supplies and currency they carried with them, the last thing Viego lacked was money.

Anyway, it’s not earned by my own hard work, so I don’t feel bad about spending it.

The Sarkaz's mask moved, and his eyes looked like he was smiling.

He put the broken gold into his pocket with ease and patted the roof of Viego's car. "Okay, let's go!"

He whispered, "Don't go too far after you go in. I'll come find you soon."

Viego nodded, drove into the city, parked the car on the side of the road, and looked at the other cars that were also sparsely parked on the side of the road, with a raised brow.

It seems that people here are accustomed to Viego's operations.

Maybe this is also the "unspoken rule" that everyone tacitly agrees to. After all, there are many caravans and mercenaries coming and going here, and there will always be newcomers who want to understand the situation.

The "newcomers" got the intelligence, the guards at the city gate got extra money, and Scar Mall received the city entrance fee. It was truly a win-win situation for all three parties.

"Lord Viego, we are just taking a short rest here, why do you have to pay such a large sum of money to the gatekeeper...?" Shining was a little confused.

"What I want to ask is something that you can't access as a pardoner, Shining," Viego explained.

"Guess what Tresis would do when he found out that eight of his pardoners were killed by me and another one was kidnapped by me, facing an 'enemy' who had been pushed to the opposite side?"

"Trying to eliminate you before you cause more damage to his forces...?"

"Yes, but Teresis is now caught in a civil war with Theresa, and there are only a few of us. He will definitely not send out a large army and spend a lot of manpower and resources just to kill us, right?"

"Indeed." Shining nodded, understanding what Viego meant. "You mean, he will choose to hire those mercenary teams to deal with you?"

"Yes, and he also knows that those useless people are useless, so he will definitely choose to hire those famous or powerful mercenary teams. Their intelligence is what I need, and it is also something you cannot access as a pardoner."

"You're right, I really know very little about the mercenaries active in the war..." Shining nodded.

dong dong——

The masked Sarkaz who was seen at the city entrance just now knocked on the driver's window of the SUV.

Viego lowered the window and heard Sarkaz say:

"I just asked a few questions, but you gave me such a big piece of red gold... This is a harder currency than anything I have! So, what do you want to ask, boss?"

"Is there any famous mercenary team nearby? They must be strong."

"Hey, you asked that. Which famous mercenary doesn't have strength? But to be honest, there are really not many active around here. Let me think... It seems that there is only the Mudstone Squad."

"If you can even afford a mercenary group, then Hedley might be a good choice. However, the last time I saw them was two weeks ago... I guess they accepted a confidential commission from a big shot, and they haven't shown up yet, haha!"

"Mudstone Squad?" Viego raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me in detail."

"Hey, since you're asking this, then I'm not sleepy anymore." Sarkaz suddenly became excited.

"The captain of the Mudstone Squad, the leader, is a 2-meter-tall burly man wearing an old-fashioned Victorian power armor and holding a two-handed sledgehammer. My goodness, when that guy hits you on the head, it's no joke."

"However, what's more interesting is that I heard that the Mudstone Team has been haunted many times during the commission process! And... it's a female ghost!" Sarkaz winked at Viego with a meaningful look that all men would understand.

"I heard that the Sarkaz female ghost is extremely beautiful and has a hot body. She always suddenly appears in the camp of the Mudstone Team in the dead of night... Many clients escorted back by them said they have seen this female ghost! Hehehe... Could it be that you heard this rumor and want to try it yourself?"

Viego covered his forehead silently.

It turns out that such unreliable supernatural rumors also circulate among the Sarkaz...

No, this is a different world!

Maybe...female ghosts really do exist?

"Where is this Mudstone Squad now?"

"Speak of the devil, and he will appear!" Sarkaz pointed behind Viego, in the direction of the Scar Mall. "Look, those three cars that just came in are Mudstone's team."

Viego raised his eyebrows and looked back.

But in the passenger seat of the leading car, he saw an unexpected blue-haired figure.

...etc.

How come Gwen appeared in the Mudrock Team's car? ? ?

Viego's face was filled with horror, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Damn, it’s really Gwen!

Chapter 74 Buy two pairs of black stockings first

"Is this the Scar Mall you were talking about?" Gwen leaned over the car window, looking excitedly at the busy streets at the entrance to the city. "This city looks very prosperous!"

Gwen had been awakened by Isolde earlier, and had followed her to the capital of Kazdel without stopping. After meeting Tracys, she left directly, without having the time to take a closer look at the capital of Kazdel.

Strictly speaking, "Scar Mall" is the first town Gwen has seen in this world that allows her to observe carefully and see new things.

Isolde was not with Gwen now. She asked Gwen to go ahead and find the more famous mercenary teams around Kazdel and try to hire them, while she waited in another location for Tracys's warriors to contact her.

Although she was traveling alone and there was no Isolde by her side to share her joy and curiosity, Gwen was still happy to see such a prosperous city and all kinds of new things.

"Welcome to Scar Mall, Miss Gwen." A slightly dull and neutral voice with a slight electronic sound came from the back seat.

That was the voice of Mudstone, the captain of the mercenary team Gwen met on the road. He or she was wearing a thick and tall heavy armor, and the voice seemed to be transmitted through some "speaker in the power armor", so it sounded a little weird, and it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.

"This is the most prosperous small town around Kazdel. Let's find a restaurant or bar to discuss your 'commission' in detail. Where would you like to go?" Mudstone asked.

"Bar...what is that place?" Gwen was a little curious. "I have never been to a bar, can you take me to have a look?"

"Never been there? Well... Of course, let's go to the bar." Mudstone paused, then said to the mercenary who was driving: "Dave, find a 'clear bar'."

"What does clear bar mean?" Gwen asked curiously.

"Well, it's a relatively quiet bar that's not so... 'chaotic'." Mudstone thought for a moment and added, "It's more suitable for our conversation."

Mudrock's team met Gwen two days ago.

The blue-haired girl wearing a puffy skirt and carrying a pair of large scissors was walking in the uninhabited wilderness, looking around curiously and even trying to get close to those hungry infected creatures.

After confirming that the girl was not a "trap" set by looters or bandits, the Mudrock Team took her along on their return journey out of the principle of helping if they could.

But after two days of getting along, Mudstone discovered that this girl named Gwen had almost no knowledge of this land - she didn't know about mobile cities, Originium and Ore Disease, and she didn't know about the races on this land.

But she vowed that she would find those powerful mercenary teams and had important commissions to deliver, and she also mentioned a woman named "Isolde".

But what puzzled Mudstone was that the woman named Isolde was obviously not like Gwen, who had no common sense. If she was still alive, why didn't she stay with Gwen?

How big a heart does one have to have to allow an innocent girl who has no idea about the world to be alone outside?

——He also asked her to find mercenaries to deliver the commission, but did not give her any money or any compensation.

If Gwen hadn't met her Mudstone team first, but other xenophobic Sarkaz mercenary teams that weren't so particular, nor as merciful and kind...

Obviously, the outcome for Gwen wouldn't be very good.

Therefore, Mudstone would rather think that the woman named "Isolde" was dead and died before she had the chance to explain too much to Gwen.

otherwise......

Mudstone subconsciously grasped the handle of the two-handed hammer that he had placed aside.

Gwen, on the other hand, was unaware of this and continued to look at the scenery outside the car window with curiosity.

The vehicle turned the corner, and Gwen's eyes swept across an SUV parked on the side of the road with a Sarkaz masked man leaning against the door.

Gwen paused for a moment, her eyes fixed on the driver's seat of the SUV.

The Sarkaz masked man pointed at the car she was in, and the white-haired man in the driver's seat turned his head to look.

My eyes met Gwen, who was leaning against the car window.

Viego...? ! !

Gwen's eyes widened slightly, but she also saw the equally surprised look on the man's face.

But that expression was not like the Viego in Gwen's memory, full of madness and tyranny.

It felt like I was seeing her for the first time.

Wait...is that really Viego?

In just a few seconds, the car Gwen was in had driven a considerable distance, and the white-haired man who looked very similar to Viego also disappeared from her sight.

Gwen blinked, and after calming down, she felt that it was more likely that the man was not Viego.

If it was the Ruined King who was willing to slaughter all living things in the world in order to find Isolde, and had fallen into a mad obsession,

Then how could he be sitting in the driver's seat of a car, parked on the side of the road, looking normal, and chatting with those people?

Viego doesn't know how to chat with people, let alone be a "coachman" for others.

If it was really him, he would only let the black fog erode the city like a wave, and then go on a killing spree in it, slaughtering all the creatures in the black fog, strengthening the power of the Curse of Ruin, and then finding Isold.

Furthermore, the expression on that man's face was nothing like the Viego in Gwen's memory.

If it was the Viego in her memory who saw her, the tyrannical king of a fallen country would rush up to her without hesitation, draw his sword and slash at her, defeat her and force her to tell him where Isolde was.

The man, however, only looked over after the masked man pointed at their vehicle, and then showed a surprised expression when he saw her.

Therefore, the man I just saw was definitely not Viego.

The reason he seemed surprised was perhaps because he thought of himself as the tall and mighty Mudrock who had been hiding in heavy armor and refused to come out?

After all, no one would think that a tall, mighty, and powerful warrior wearing heavy armor, holding a two-handed hammer, would be a little girl who looks young, innocent, and cute, right?

"..."

On the other side, on the off-road vehicle.

Viego watched the convoy of the "Mudrock Squad" pointed out by the gatekeeper go away, and covered his forehead with his hands with a snap.

Oh shit, this is really weird.

How could I meet the spirit doll Gwen in another world?

Could it be that I am still in Rune Continent?

Or did Gwen come into this world with Isolde?

She clearly saw me just now, why didn't she rush over and cut me with her big scissors?

It’s supernatural. It’s so fucking supernatural.

"Dude, do you know where they are going?" Viego asked the gatekeeper.

"I don't know, but mercenaries are usually in brothels or bars. There aren't many of them in that direction. They can be seen directly on the roadside. Just look at where their cars are parked, and you'll know."

"OK... Is there any place in the city that sells clothes? Like a clothing street or something like that?"

"They're all in that direction too. The bar, the brothel, the clothing store, the weapon store, they're all in the same neighborhood. You can see them when you get over there!"

"I understand. Thanks buddy." Viego waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem.

He held the steering wheel and thought for a moment with a frown.

Then start the engine and drive in the direction where the Mudstone Squad left.

do not care.

The clothing store is over there anyway.

First, go buy a few sets of clothes for Shining and Liz, rent a hotel room, and let these tired girls clean up.

As for Gwen...

Anyway, she doesn't have any fragments of Isolde on her, so unless she suddenly takes out her big precious scissors and rushes at me, I'll just ignore her for now.
